Exposition Lesson # 2 Questions

It has been so truly stated that a preacher never gets discouraged or disappointed in living
for the glory of God.  His discouragement and disappointment comes from living for the 
goals of man---Dr. Grey Allison, President, Mid America Seminary

In lesson # 2, Dr. Owen magnifies the fundational principles of preaching.  From these 
principles, you should be able to derive the following:

1.  There is one key word in verse one, that sets the stage for a preacher's
      successful ministry.  Name that key word and explain your answer.

2.  To preach with the power of God, a preacher must preach the truth of God's
      Word.  In order to accomplish this, he must have a _____________________
      authority and a ___________________ authority.

3.  In 100 words or less, explain why this authority is required.

4.  Dr. Owen relates to us a wonderful definition of the aim of the preacher.
     He uses and defines three Greek words that are present in verse one.  Name
     the English words and describe these three words with the Greek definitions
     that are supplied.

Project # 1

Taking the subject of point # 1, "The Truth of God's Promise", construct an alliterated 
outline using his three main points and his four subpoints under "Ancient Promise".
The goal of this exercise is to teach and instruct you in taking the work of another and
adapted that work to fit your personality.  This procedure is not the duplicating of 
another's work, but is simply the taking of another's inspiration and adapting and amend-
ing that work to fit your personality, procedures and principles.  God's Word is inspired,
and that inspiration came to men who were moved upon by the Holy Ghost.  They penned
down that inspiration, and other men throughout the ages have gleaned from the inspiration
of another!  There is no difference in gleaning from the inspiration of the Bible, than in 
gleaning from the inspiration of the Bible upon another preacher!  Remember, wisdom is
not "knowing everything", but wisdom is "knowing where to find everything".

Project # 2

Your assignment in this project, is to take the following outline skeleton and build your
sermon upon that skeleton.  Please alliterate your points and subpoints.
